Nicknamed “The People’s Car,” this model was coveted all around the globe. German families appreciated the affordable quality while an American bug named “Herbie” became a Hollywood star. Americans loved to watch this car on the big screen but they wanted to drive it too. The Beetle was the highest selling foreign-made car in America throughout the ‘60s. Today, this VW is one of the best-selling cars of all time.
